CNBC Survey Shows Trump Economic Approval Hits Record Low Amid Midterm Election Concerns
The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey reveals that President Donald Trump's economic approval rating has reached an all-time low, with 65% of Americans expressing disapproval. Economic pessimism is rising across the board, most notably among Republicans, where pessimism climbed to 35%, the highest level seen during either of Trump's terms. As the midterm elections approach on November 3, polling suggests a shift in political momentum toward Democrats. Respondents favor Democratic control of Congress by a 52% to 45% margin, a three-point increase since July. This sentiment is driven by concerns over the cost of food and gas, as well as corruption, creating significant headwinds for Republican candidates in competitive Senate races.
